AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Joan Miró (1893–1983) – Original Lithograph V – 1972 – Mourlot 861 / Cramer 160
Original-color lithograph by Joan Miró (1893–1983) from 1972, created for the first volume of the significant bibliography Miró Lithographe I (1930–1952).
The present sheet is the “Original Lithograph V” and is documented in the catalog under Mourlot No. 861. The publication is listed as Cramer Books 160. The lithograph was printed by Mourlot, Paris, and appeared within the 1972 published catalog edition.
On the reverse side is the original typographic designation:
JOAN MIRÓ
Original Lithograph V
The sheet is not hand-signed and not individually numbered, as is intended for the regular book edition. The Miró Lithographe I book edition was issued in a total print run of 5,000 numbered books; the lithographs contained therein are not individually numbered.
Miró’s characteristic visual language is especially clear in this sheet: a large green crescent shape, bold black calligraphic signs, and intense red, blue and green color fields over a dynamic mesh of orange and turquoise lines.

Bibliographic classification
The work is not a modern reproduction or a giclée, but an original lithograph from 1972, created for the catalog publication and printed by Mourlot. A current auction listing catalogues the same sheet expressly as an “Original color lithograph,” Mourlot 861 / Cramer 160, unsigned and unnumbered as issued.
Besides copies of the book edition, there are also separate editions on different paper or signed deluxe copies. The sheet offered here belongs to the regular, unsigned publication edition.
Note / Disclaimer
The description and bibliographic classification have been made to the best knowledge based on the present sheet, its reverse typographic designation, and the relevant catalog and comparison information. No separate art-historical, conservation, or material-technical expert opinion is available.
The sheet is not hand-signed by Joan Miró in pencil or ink and is not individually numbered. The reverse designation “JOAN MIRÓ – Original Lithograph V” is part of the publication edition.
All photographs show the actual offered item and are part of the condition description. Color tone, brightness, and contrast may differ slightly from the original due to lighting, camera, and monitor display.
